Autumn news
After a great summer full of sunbathing, hitchhiking and postcard-writing we are getting prepared for new gigs and recordings of brand new songs. In october we will do a short weekend tour to Germany and by then we will have a finished CD and some other "bös" to meet the needs of our very demanding fanbase. As always we'd love to come around and play in your hometown, so send us a message if anything is happening and you want The Medalist to be there.
Ok, that's all for now!

The Medalist
The Medalist started out during the football-crazed summer of 2006 with Christian and Jonas meeting through an ad on the internet. Drummer Johan and bass player David joined during the fall, making the band a band for real. After a year of his best drumming Johan left for Norrland and was replaced by Andreas, giving the band it's present line-up.
Three songs were recorded in Olis's studio Kepner Treg on Tredje Långgatan one weekend in March 2007, and released as a single on lovely indie label Cloudberry Records. In the months that followed another three songs were recorded, and a five track self-titled EP was released in the beginning of 2008. The song "Foreign Language" is also featured on Cloudberry Records' Apple Crumble compilation CD released in Japan.
The Medalist enjoys long strolls, rice cookies and smelling like cigarettes. We would love to be your friend.
